--description--

Given an array of exam scores (numbers), return the average score in form of a letter grade according to the following chart:

Average Score	Letter Grade
97-100	"A+"
93-96	"A"
90-92	"A-"
87-89	"B+"
83-86	"B"
80-82	"B-"
77-79	"C+"
73–76	"C"
70-72	"C-"
67-69	"D+"
63-66	"D"
60–62	"D-"
below 60	"F"

Calculate the average by adding all scores in the array and dividing by the total number of scores.
